Dispute resolution process

At P J Carey Contractors Ltd, we strive to resolve payment queries in a timely basis. We are committed to dealing fairly with and promptly paying our suppliers and subcontractors, the dispute will be dealt with by the relevant project team who will negotiate with our subcontractor until the issue is resolved and payment is made. In respect of disputes with our suppliers, our Accounts Payable Team will expedite a resolution assisted by our Procurement and relevant site teams. Should formal resolution be required, which is extremely unlikely, methods such as mediation may be used. If disputes are not resolved within our payment terms, payment terms are extended until resolved which negatively impacts our average payment days.
